The French. papers of Tuesday continue, to specu late upon the re-appointment, or rather the re-con struction of the Cabinet. Several lists Mere handed about., each purporting to be drawn up by persons en joying the Royal confidence ; but, as is mostly the case in such matter 3, no two of them were agreed in their nomination of the actual Ministers. In one of these documents, Count MOLE is appointed President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs ; Mar shal SOULT, Minister of War; Count MONTALIVET, Minister of the Interior; M. MARTIN (Du NORD), Minister of Justice ; M. GUIZOT, Minister of Public Instruction ; M. DUCHATEL, Minister of Finance ; and - M: PELET (DE LA LOZERE), Minister of Com merce. In a second list M. GUIZOT figures as Presi dent of the Council ; and a third re-apppoints M. TDIERS, substituting M. HUMANN for the late Minister of Finance, and reconstructing a tolera bly strong Cabinet out of the old materials. But the real fact is, that all speculation upon such a subject, is but a waste of time. The arrangements for the re-appointment of a Government must of necessity be completed before the end, of the week, and till then it is as well to have patience. We - need not here recapitulate the opinions of the Paris press upon this subject, as our readers will find them in an other part of The Sun, copied from the Journals of Tuesday. The accounts from Spain are more favourable than they have been for some days. General ITuaALDE has passed over to the Christinos at Lerin, and his ex ample is likely to be followed by several other Carlist chiefs of distinction. All is consternation and dismay at the head-quarters of the Usurper, in consequence of the intrigues and quarrels of the chief favourites. GOMEZ, after all his ,brilliant exploits, has been dis (Traced, and the chief, ELso, has been appointed by r, Don CA ItLOS to succeed. The ostensible cause is his refusal to give battle to ESPARTERO in Gallicia. The Moniteur of Tuesday contains the following important announcement, communicated to the Go vernment by telegraph : " The division of Soria, of the Army of the Centre, h as defeated, at Villarluengo, the united bands of Q uilez, Ca_ brera, and Forcadell. - The Car lists had a great number of men put hors de combat, and left in the hands of the victors 5,000 muskets, 500 horses, and a quantity of ammunition. The date of this engagement is not given. PARIS, Ann. 30.—M. Duchatel arrived at Paris this morn ing at three o'clock. General Alava yesterday despatched an extraordinary courier to his Government. It is known that he is the bearer of the formal refusal of, that Ambassador to comply with the orders which were transmitted to him a few days ago by M. Cala trava, to take, and to cause the subjects of her Catholic Majesty to take, the oath of the Constitution of 1812. The Secretary, all the officers of the Legation without distinction, and the Consul residing at Paris, have signed individually a similar refusal. Very deplorable accounts were in circulation this evening relative to the state of Spain. Though they are communi cated to us by persons who are well informed, we give them without warranting their truth. It was said that the Ministry of Calatrava was overthrown (still under the influence of the military insurrection), and that men belonging to the inferior ranks of the army had seized on the power; that this new revolution had been accom plished in the name of Isabella and the Queen Regent, till the revolutionists shall have resolved to omit this vain formality, which cannot fail soon to happen. It was added that a reward had been offered for the heads of Toreno and Isturitz. These facts, if true, could surprise us only by the rapidity with which they have taken place. We looked for them some weeks hence ; they come in quick succession. The other consequences to be drawn from a Constitution proclaimed by a *thug insurrection cannot fail to appear. We cannot reason upon these conjectures as upon facts • for t hat is not true to-day, will be so to-morrow. It the Spanish revolution bas already exhausted the list of all the men that it could try among those who have a Parliamentary reputation. It has descended to the dregs of society to seek its chiefs. Will it have its reign of terror? We cannot doubt it, now that the unhappy country is abandoned to itself. —La Paix, Aug. 30. M. Guizot, who was sent for to the Tuileries by the King 'esterday, had an audience of two hours. ' At four o'clock M. de Montalivet and Count Mole waited on the King, and staid till half-past five. A journal says this morning that MM. Guizot and Mole have perfectly agreed, and that M. Mole will accept the Fo reign Department, with the post of President of the Council.

Van de Weyer, Envoy Extra ordinary to the Court of St. James's, and entrusted with a special mission to Lisbon, has received from her Majesty the Queen of Portugal the Grand Cross of the Order of the Tower and Sword. _ _ It seems that nothing is positively determined respecting the inner dike to be erected in the Polder of Lillo. There are many lines marked out one of which is pretty near the fort, while the most remote would leave the hamlet of Cruys weg in the inundation. It , is supposed that the marks have been placed in this manner that it may not be known what is the real line that will be adopted. London has its Radical meetings, Brussels, it seems, is going to have similar ones. We read in the Ware Yolks vriend that on Monday last, at seven o'clock in the evening, there was a meeting of 200 workmen at the White Horse public house. " This meeting," says the Flemish journal, "of workmen, the greater part of whom belonged to the poorer class, of some country people who arrived accidentally, and of some women of the lowest order. We translate literally. Will our readers know what the speakers of this meeting preached to it ? Listcn— " You are poor because you are blind, and because you do not agree together, of which those who are called rich take tdvantage to mislead you, to reap all advantages ; not to work, but to live at your expense in abundance and pleasure." These insensate addresses would not be worthy of attention did they not tend to plunge society into the most frightful anarchy, by exciting the people against those whom it is affec ted to' stigmatise under the name of the rich. No ; the people are not poor because they are blind, but because the workman is too often deficient in order and economy.—Bilge. BRUSSELS, Ann. 30.—1 t seems very astonishing to us that business belonging to the war department is still transacted by General Evain. It is not thirty-six hours since the ex-Minis ter sent for a superior officer of infantry, to regulate with him an affair in which the officer was concerned, which is exclu sively in the jurisdiction of the war department. Shall we suppose that the retreat of M. Evain is only a farce such as King William attempted to play, by removing for a time M. Van Maenem, to satisfy public opinion, to which it became necessary to appear to pay attention ? if that is the case, we would inquire what part General Willmar would act? Since we are speaking of General Evain, it is good that the public should know that one of the last acts of his osten sible ministry was to restore to full liberty all the guides that were condemned for the excesses committed by them in the office of the Liberal. These soldiers were released a fort night ago, and sent to their regiment with an exhortation to show their gratitude, by the utmost devotedness, for this dis tinguished exercise of the royal clemency. Now these soldiers and their comrades know for what a trifling punishment it is allowable to go and break up the presses of an opposition journal. F,Ei,t;IAN 1 UNDS—BRUSSELS, AUG. 29.

HASIBURGH, AUGUST 18.-Our magistrates had long wish ed to transport those criminals who are sentenced to im prisonment for life, or for a very long time, in order to clear the state prisons. Negociations were commenced with the Australian Colonization Society in London, and a contract was soon made ; but, being disapproved of by the English Government, it .could not be carried into of The offers-of a Brazilian captain, who had come to enlist recruits, were, therefore, very welcome. It was left to the criminals themselves to choose whether they would go to Brazil or remain here till the expiration of their punishments. The number of those who chose the former was so great that the captain could not take them all on board. lia sailed on the 27th of July. This emigration is very ad vantageous to us both in a practical and moral point of view. The Captain certainly finds his account in it, since, in addition to ivhat he received here, he will probably have a bounty from his own Government. Besides, by a late regulation, he is exempt from the payment of harbour dues and other charges when he brings one hundred settlers.—Swabian Mercury, Aug. 27.

The productive powers of the land are increased by the addi tional quantity of manure thus raised, and it suffers less ex haustion by the less frequent recurrence of the grain crop ; and to this circumstance their comparative prosperity may in a great measure be attributed. Where the same practice pre vails in England, as will be collected from the evidence of Messrs. Bennett and Crowther, it is attended with an equally favourable result.

In years of scarcity, on the other hand, they cannot be of equal advantage to the farmer ; and, perhaps, the most perfect sys tem would be, to allow a portion of the rent to vary with the price of that description of corn which forms the ordinary pro duce of the farm, and the remainder to be a fixed money payment." This system of a corn rent, combined with a money rent, has, if we are not mistaken, been long acted upon in Scotland. It was recommended to the agriculturists of England in 1815, in a very able pamphlet on the Corn Laws by Dr. CROMBIE, of Greenwich ; and to it, no doubt, in part, may be attributed the prosperity of the Scotch agriculturists. The chief elements of this prosperity, however, we take to be a better rota tion of crops and long leases. These improvements, particularly the latter, we heartily wish to see intro duced into England. Without long leases there is no sufficient inducement for agricultural enterprise. Were they to become general, every other improvement would follow in their train, and the greatest of all those im provements would be the political independence of the English farmer. Lie would not then be, as he now is, the degraded bondsman, the slave, the born, thrall of his landlord ? Mr. LEFEVRE next notices with great and seemingly well-deserved approbation, the sub-soil plough in vented by Mr. SMITH of Deenster, near Stirling, which has been in use in Scotland for the last twelve years. By means of this ingenious implement, sub soils are made to receive, without interfering with the crop growing on the surface, all the beneficial influ ences derived from fallowing. In the management of clay lands, on which it is now so difficult to raise wheat to advantage, such an improvement as the in troduction of the sub-soil plough can hardly be too highly estimated by agriculturists. Mr. LEFEVRE con siders it of as great importance as the introduction of the turnip system on lighter soils. The author then discusses the subject of Poor Laws in Ireland, with reference to the interest of the Eng lish agriculturist, and seems to think that the esta blishment of a Poor-Law system in that country would not be for his benefit, however desirable it might be on other accounts. This, we think, cannot admit of a doubt, if it be disadvantageous to the agriculture of England to have an additional supply of grain poured into the English market. That, we take it, must be the inevitable consequence of any system that gives constant and adequate employment to the vast popu lation of 'lreland, upon its own fertile soil. Mr. LEFEVRE, therefore, very properly dismisses all hope of relief to the English farmer from this source, and proceeds to the consideration of the other sugges tions offered to the Committee—namely, " the allow ing Farmers permission to malt their own barley for consumption on their farms, free of duty, and a reduc tion of the Malt Tax." To the first of these modes of relief he is adverse, and after an elaborate, clear, and able examination of the second, he comes to the conclusion, that it would lie advantageous to the agricultural interest to repeal the present Corn Laws, substituting a small fixed duty on importation, and conjointly with this measure to take off half the duty on malt. Among the suggestions for relieving the agricultu rists offered to the Legislature, was one from Liver nool and Plymouth, which we think well worth the attention of Parliament. It was proposed, in pea ',ion; from those towns,. that a certificate should be granted to the exporter of British flour fOr every . bar rel he exposits, " authorising himhim to liberate, at any futur.: time, as much foreign grain as could have been liberated by the amount of duty payable on the import of a barrel of foreign flour at the time when the export was !wick." When it is considered that very large quantities of flour are sent annually from America to the West Indies, by way of Liverpool, we cannot help thinking that a good opening is here presented for getting rid of surplus produce, and laying the foun dation of an export trade in corn, to which, in spite of all our Corn Laws, we are fast hastening. Some of the witnesses examined by the Committee having attributed the distress experienced in certain districts to the resumption of cash payments, Mr. LEFEVRE bestcws a passing notice on that question. The currency-mongers receive no encouragement from him. As, however, his opinions on this subject coin cide exactly with those so often expressed by this jour nal, we shall not trouble our readers with any extract from this part of the pamphlet. At page 38, we find the following sensible observa tions, with which we conclude our notice, of a pamphlet which ought to be in the hands of every agriculturist in the three kingdoms : " In conclusion, I would recommend those persons who feel disposed to question the utility of an Enquiry whichis said to have been productive of such barren results, to read with care and attention the evidence which has been collected. It is true that it contains nothing to flatter with delusive hope the farmer who has neither skill, energy, nor capital. But to one who takes the conduct of a farm, with a determination to apply to it those improvements, which the progress of science has ex . tended to agriculture ; and who, possessing industry and intel ligence, has also the means by which alone they can be made e.vailable to him, the perusal of this evidence will afford abun dant encouragement. Still greater benefit be derived from the enquiry, if it does but convince any numerous class of agri culturists, that the best thing which the legislature can do for them is to free their trade from the shackles imposed upon it by impolitic la:ls—that the relief, afforded by the new Poor Laws, and the Tithe Commutation Act, is the principal benefit which can be derived from Parliamentary interference—that any attempt to keep up artificially the prices of agricultural produce, for any length of time, must lead to delusion and dis appointment ; that looking forward in future years to a mode rate price of wheat, the farmer must regulate all his contracts accordingly, and instead of constantly appealing to the legisla ture for succour, he must rely upon his own industry, which, under Providence, will not fail him." CLIFTON ►SUSPENSION BRIDGE.—In the after noon of Saturday several persons were attracted to the spot where the bar crosses the Avon, in consequence of some gen tlemen being observed taking a car over to the Leigh-wood side of the river. In a short time it was perceived that this car was being affixed to the iron bar, and in a few minutes two young gentlemen entered it, and it was drawn about midway, hanging ever the river ; here it stopped, owing, it is supposed, to there being an obstruction in the bar caused by its fall ; the rope by which the car was being drawn was then slackened to , a very considerable degree. The Benledi steam-vessel at this time approached, and the mast just caught the rope ; a cry of horror was uttered on both shores; the parties on board the steamer, not being aware of the circumstance, did not stop the vessel, which proceeded, drawing with it the rope, the bar, and the car. The people on the shore covered their eyes with their hands, and expected every instant to hear the report of the bar breaking ; for, if this had been the case, the young gentlemen would have been precipitated into the river below. Fortunately, however, at this awful crisis one man had suffi cient fortitude and presence of mind to cut the end of the rope, and thus let the voyagers free from the steamer, but the car then swung to and fro with the most fearful rapidity, and a gentleman who was present states that the sight was so dread ful, that it is impossible to give a description of it. After a lapse of some time the car became steady, and the young gen tlemen were drawn to the rock in safety. A gentleman then got into it, and was drawn to the same spot. He ascended from the car to the bar, and was apparently engaged in en deavouring to remove the obstruction ; but our informant had seen enough and left the spot, assuring us that what he had witnessed had made such an impression on his mind that it was some time before he recovered his self-possession. In the township of Leeds alone there have been lodged 1,101 Liberal, and 1,355 Tory objections. The claims are 101 Liberal, and 95 Tory. Amongst the sufferers by the recent fire at London Bridge no one can have been more unfortunate than M. Luiz Autunes de Carvalho, a Portuguese gentleman, who arrived at Falmouth last week in the Goldfinch packet from the Bra zils, and arrived in this city on Monday morning by land, hav ing forwarded his baggage by the William Fawcett, steam boat. On inquiring for it at the office in John-street, to his astonishment and chagrin he found they had been landed, all but one box, the evening before at Fenning's wharf, and had been totally consumed. Some of the soldiers who took part in the attempt at insurrection which was made at St. Petersburgh immedi ately after the death of Alexander, were asked by an officer what they understood by the word " Constitution," which they were vociferating. ".Oh, Sir." they replied, " Constitution means the wife of the Grand Duke Constantine." BANK OF ENGLAND. NTERVIEW BETWEEN A DEPUTATION FROM THE BANK OF LIVERPOOL AND THE GOVERNOR, &C. OF THE BANK OF ENGLAND. We learn that the measures pursued by the Bank of England, in throwing out the paper of some leading Ame rican houses, was beginning to excite alarm in Lanca shire in consequence of which the Bank of Liverpool deemed it necessary to send a deputation to wait on the Governor and Directors, to confer with them on a mea sure of so much importance to the commercial interest of the country, particulary as the Bank of Liverpool deemed the steps taken by the Bank of England now unnecessary, inasmuch as specie had ceased to be exported to the United States, which was the alleged cause of declining to dis count American Bills. vV The deputation arrived on Tuesday at the Bank, about twelve o'clock, where they remained about two hours in conference with the Governor, Deputy-Governor, and Mr. Horsley Palmer, and after a very full discussion on all points bearing on the question at issue, it was understood that now no obstacle would be thrown in the way of dis counting American bills arising out of fair business transac tions ; but there was a wish on the part of the Bank to check such foreign State negotiations as would have a ten dency to drain the country of specie. We understand there was the most distinct assurance on the part of the Bank, that the bills which they declined discounting did not arise from the least doubt of their re spectability, but on the other baud, they confined their rejections to the paper houses of known wealth, respecta bility, and resources, to prevent inconvenience and alarm.

The Jamaica Dispatch of the 19th July, says : " We have no reason to alter our opinion of the correctness of our statement with respect to Lord Sligo's resignation of the Government of this island. No doubt, his Excellency regrets the series of ill-advised measures he was led to adopt. " Mr. AP Queen who arrived by the packet, and is the agent deputed by the Managers of the Colonial Bank to explain its nature and advantages to the Jamaica folks, handed in a paper for publication. We give it a place in our columns. The wealth and respectability of those named, it is true, give se curity and stability to this bank ; but have we not sufficient security in the wealth of the merchants and planters of the Island, to insure confidence to the operation of a bank esta blished by themselves, with their own capital ? " A Privy Council was held on Saturday last, in Spanish Town. Nothing has as yet transpired of the proceeding ; but it is believed it was summoned to arrange preliminaries for the departure of the Marquis of Sligo,' whose resignation of the Government of this Island was accepted by his Majesty's Ministers." The Jamaica Di: patch of the 7th of July, says—" We are extremely happy to find that the kindness and anxiety of many of our friends in England, to establish a Bank here for their own benefit, has induced our capitalists to come forward to have a Bank of their own. The capital may be easily in creased, although it is supposed that 300,0001. will be found sufficient to meet our local exigencies.

GUILD fIALL, A boy of about 11 or 12 years of age was brought before Mr. Alderman BIRCH by the desire of his mother, a poor widow, under the following circumstances : The mother stated that in consequence of the propensity of her boy to theivino, and other bad habits, she wished to get him into the Philanthropic, but the rules of that institution required the child should have been before a Magistrate. Last week be had been sent upon an errand with 4s. 3d., which he had made use of for his own purposes. The police man in whose custody the boy was stated that he found 2s. on him, and that he had told him he spent ls. 9d. in oysters and apples ; the remainder he bad bought a cap with. The ALDERMAN told the mother she might now go to the officers of the institution, and state to them her son had been at thezoffice, and he had no doubt she would gain her object. The poor woman thanked the Alderman, and left the office with an infant in her arms. The boy was ordered to be brought up again to-morrow. Elizabeth Fitzgerald and Charles White were sent to Bride well for 21 days, for stealing last night, from the door of a pawnbroker in Farringdon-street, a pair of trowscrs, value 3s. BOW STREET. Samuel French was charged with embezzling various sums of money belonging to his master, William Stewart, a baker in Brydges-street. The prisoner was sent out with bread and the weekly bills ; of many of them he had received payment, and had not ac counted for the money to his master. Mrs. King and Mr. Delaux proved the payment of the bills, which were produced, and were discharged by the priso ner. He bad admitted the felony to the policeman, and said he had been led to do so from being taken into bad company, and ho hoped his master would be lenient with him.—Com mitted. . . UNSTAMPED PRESS. —Thomas Smith, a young printer's devil, was charged with having a quantity of unstampcd news papers in his possession. Ballard, the officer, was in Oxford-street this morning at six o'clock, when he saw the prisoner in a cab with two lrage bundles. He saw the cab stop at the Green Man and Still, where he got in and drove to Bow-street. The parcels con tained 44 quires of the Weehly Times for next Sunday. He (prisoner) said, he supposed he was safe till the 15th. Sir F. ROE said he had made a very good guess.—Com mitted for 15 days. TOWN HALL. Samuel Wheatley and Ann Wheatley, the two persons who were brought before Sir John Key, yesterday, for assaulting Ann Burfit, and who were remanded till this morning, were brought up again to-day. The policeman, whom the prisoner had charged with being drunk, was in attendance, and denied in the strongest terms that he was so, in which statement he was confirmed by se veral brother officers, and the Inspector, who stated that he had been in the force for five years, and was a most efficient officer. Sir JOHN KE r inquired of the prisoners if they still per sisted in the statement that the house kept by the prosecutrix was a house of ill fame; and on being answered in the affir mative, the worthy Magistrate stated that he had caused strict enquiry to be made on the subject, and from the result of that inquiry he was confident the statements of the prisoners were totally false. Several witnesses here came forward and stated that the house kept by the husband of the prosecutor was a house for lodgers of a poor description, but that it was conducted with great propriety. Sir JOHN KEY said that the assault was a most unwarrant able one, and that it had been aggravated by the endeavours of the prisoners to take away the character of the prosccutrix. He should therefore order them to find bail themselves, each in 401., and two sureties of 201. each ; and that twenty-four hours notice should be given of that bail. UNION-HALL. A boy named Elkins was fully committed by Mr. JEREMY for trial, for stealing 15 silk handkerchiefs, value 305., from the shop of a Mr. Clothier. It appeared from the statement of the prosecutor that the handkerchiefs were hanging by a string at his shop door ; he heard the string break, and on going to the door lie discovered the prisoner running away with the handkerchiefs in his hand, and he had him immediately taken into custody. A REGULAR Ho USE- STEIPPING.—A respectable looking man, shortly after Mr. JEREMY took his seat, came bowing up to the table, to request his advice under the following singular circumstances :—Last night, he said, when he returned home, be found to his utter astonishment, that the whole of his house had been stripped from top to toe of every stick of fur niture in it, even the bed that he bad lain upon. and what was still worse, his better half had gone also. fie did not know what to do, and had therefore come to the Magistrate. Mr. JEREMY asked if he thought his wife had taken them, because, if she had, his only course would be to bring an ac tion ? Complainant—l am afraid she has, your Worship, for I found this letter in the house. The letter was then handed to the Magistrate, from which it appeared that the wife had taken the property, to support herself. The complainant said that the statements in the letter of his wife were totally without foundation, as she had always plenty to support her. Under the advice of the Magistrate the complainant left the office, to give information of his loss at the station-house. BALLOONING.-011 Wednesday last, Mr. Graham went up in a balloon from Montpelier Gardens, Cheltenham. THE LATE FIRE NEAR LONDON-BRIDGE.—It is not true that Mr. Braithwaite_ powerful Steam Fire-engine is out of repair. The reason it was not brought out at the late fire was, that upon every occasion on which it has been used the owner has been put to all the requisite expenses, which are not trifling. The Fire-offices have not behaved to Mr. Braith waite with their usual liberality, nor do they consider their own interest, or that of the public, by neglecting to avail them selves of the extraordinary and effective powers of this engine. THE DESCENT OF THE BALLOONS.—The two balloons, which ascended on Tuesday afternoon from Vauxhall Gardens, descended, after being upwards of an hour in the air, the one at Barking, in Essex, and the other at Romford, in both instances without accident or inconvenience. The bal loon in which Mrs. Evans, of Dover-street, ascended, accom panying Mr. Green, took in the first instance a northerly di rection, but afterwards turned rather easterly. After a de lightful trip they descended at Rotnford. The balloon which carried Mr. James Green and Dr. Kent did not travel so ra pidly as the one which conveyed their fellow voyagers through the clouds. But its progress was steady and safe. Dr. Kent expresses himself delighted with the treat afforded, which he says was of that magnificent nature which defy all , attempts `to describe, so as to give any adequate idea of the grandeur and beauty of the scene. It was brought to terra firma at Barking, Essex, with the greatest ease. Mr. Green, sett., after taking his fair companion to Dover -street, returned to Vauxhall Gardens at half-past ten o'clock, and was wel comed with loud cheers. In less than two minutes afterwards, and before the cheering had subsided, a post chaise and four with flags flying from the windows, was seen approaching at a rapid rate. In a moment it was announced throughout the gardens that Mr. James Green and Dr. Kent had arrived, when the cheering was renewed. 'Vs. Green, and Mr. James Green, both represent their voyages yesterday as the most pleasant they had ever made. DUELLING IN FRANCE.—The French Courts have lately pronounced some important sentences, of which the re petition may prove fatal to the system of duelling. They have given damages to the widow or orphan, to be levied on the slayer. The Royal Court of Bourdeaux seems to have set the example, by giving the widow Cheurlet damages against Dutheuil, who had killed her husband in a duel. It applied the same principle in another case ; and an appeal being made to the Court of Cassation, the sentence was confirmed. The trial of young Sivey for killing M. Durepane in a duel, has occupied the Assize Court of Paris for many days, and it ter minated on Sunday, by a verdict of damages in favour of the widow. THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF CAPUA.—The King of Naples arrived at Lyons on the evening of the 26th, and alighted at the Hotel de l'Europe. Immediately after the principal authorities waited upon him. "It is affirmed," says a letter of the 27th, " that an unexpected and very piquant incident has occurred. The Prince of Capua had either writ ten or informed his Majesty that he would go and throw him self at his feet on his way through Lyons, and implore his for giveness. Determined to avoid the interview, the King had sent expresses to Lyons, and on the southern road, where he was then, to desire his brother not to present himself. Never theless, the Prince of Capua having taken the road of Gao and Grenoble, the expresses could not fulfil their errands. By a coincidence most singular, if it were :not calculated, the Prince reached the Hotel de l'Europe almost at the very mo ment the King arrived, and took an apartment quite close to his Majesty's. It is, therefore, thought that it must have been difficult for the latter to avoid the interview which he dreaded. What has passed between the two brothers has not 'transpired. To-day the King has reviewed the garrison." In a letter in the Chonicle of yesterday, on the sub ject of the disposal of ecclesiastical patronage, it is stated that Mr. Otter, the Principal of King's College, is the nominee of the Bishop of London, and an inference is drawn from that circumstance that he is not liberal in politics. We learn that we have unintentionally done great injustice to that gentleman. He was the intimate friend of Sir Samuel Romilly, who en trusted to him the education of his two sons, Edward and John. His principles have always been highly liberal. He was an advocate of Catholic Emancipation, and is disposed to appropriate a greater share of the revenue of the Church of Ireland to purposes of religious and moral education than is done by the Ministerial measure. Mr. Otter has been true to his principles at the expense of his worldly interest, for he ad vocated liberal measures at a time when they were a bar to pro motion in the Church. Had he possessed a more accommo dating conscience, he had powerful connections who would not have neglected him. At Cambridge he has always taken a distinguished part in favour of liberal measures, and voted in favour of Liberal candidates. Great exertions were fruit lessly made to prevent his voting in favour of Lord Pal merston and Mr. Cavendish. It was, we understand, the conviction that he would be an invaluable head of an insti tution for education that obtained for him the situation to which he has been named. —Morning Chronicle. Sir Nicholas Tyndall honoured the Royal Court with his presence for a short time on Saturday last. The Court was held in the States' Assembly Room ; but his Lord ship remarked, on being shown the hall where the business of the Court is usually transacted, that it wasmore capacious and convenient than his own of the Common Pleas.
